We have a 40 y.o. female patient with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome with hypermobility of all joints.  We are looking at possibly fitting HKAFOs to control dislocations/subluxations at hip knee and ankle.  Does anyone have experience with these patients and the unique challanges they present?  Recommendations? Advice?  Stance control knee joints?
Thanks.
